The message reads, in part:
“The conference, aimed at facilitating a serious and substantial discussion of humanitarian and civilisational issues of critical importance for the future of Russia and humanity at large, brought together leading scientists, experts, and representatives of think tanks and higher education institutions from Russia and abroad at the Vorobyovy Gory Innovation Science and Technology Centre of Lomonosov Moscow State University.
At a time of rapid technological, social, and cultural transformation, the significance of the humanities continues to grow. There is an increasing need for thoughtful and responsible philosophical reflection on contemporary developments and challenges. As we consider the future, we seek to understand how people will experience life in a digitally driven world, how our perception of life will evolve, and the principles that will shape relations among individuals and cultures.
In this context, I would like to emphasise that your meeting offers participants an excellent opportunity to engage in meaningful academic dialogue and to exchange views in an open and respectful manner.”
